Hiring legally in Florida

Occasional babysitting can still count as household employment. In 2026 Social Security and Medicare taxes apply only if you pay one person $3,000 or more in the year, and wages paid to babysitters under 18 generally don't count unless babysitting is their main job (IRS Publication 926). See our guide: how to hire a household employee in Florida.
